Quixote Winery in Napa Valley has been called “whimsical” and “eccentric.” To those who have experienced Quixote’s architecture and breathtaking surroundings in the golden hillsides of the Stags Leap District appellation, the 42-acre wine-producing property is a world all its own. Designed by the world-famous, free-spirited Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the winery is the only Hundertwasser building in the United States.

The property is home to 27 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Staying true to the vineyard, Winemakers Robert Smith and Philippe Melka let the wines express the true meaning of our Stags Leap Appellation terroir. Our unique estate vineyard has four distinct soil types with both east and west facing slopes, giving us wines of great balance and complexity. Farmed organically by famed Napa Valley Vineyard Manager, Michael Wolf, we believe that, ultimately, the legacy that is Quixote begins in the vineyards.

The estate beckons the wine collector…but a collector with a sense of humor and a free mind who isn’t afraid to trade straight lines and traditional ways of thinking for curved floors and complete immersion with nature.

Today, visitors are welcomed by a tree-lined drive and enveloping branches of old oaks, a walkway through wild grasses and finally the iconic onion-shaped gold dome stretching into the sky.
The property was originally a part of the historic Stags’ Leap Winery and borders the vineyards that produce Shafer’s highly acclaimed Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. Sharing the same great dirt as its two illustrious neighbors, the land offers infinite possibilities for producing rarified wine
